Results for the third race in the series

We had a typical number of racers show up for a not so typical day in July.  The weather was near perfect.  Upper 70's with a blue puffy cloud sky and some wind to add challenge.  Nothing remarkable happened; no record breaking times or mishaps.  We did have one Junior (Anthony Hamm) traveling from Ottumwa. This was his first race ever! Well Done!  We had another Junior (Willie Oxley) who rode in the Men's category. Great job Willie passing your minute person, which was me!  We always have a great showing of  Men Masters.  As one remarked "this could be called the old mans race."  And why not?  Except for the fact that there are always a few of us women racers who pin the number on and test their strength and stamina. I might add that riding my single non-aero bike gives me respect for all who give this their best shot. 
 Thanks for showing up to race on the beautiful July evening!

flooding not a factor, so on with the race.

After the busy 4th of July festivities, I knew it was time to get back to business.  The first thing on my agenda was to take a ride and check out flood damage to the course.  I also must admit, I was pretty sure there was going to be water somewhere over the road especially after seeing flood warnings on the Weather Channel banner stating the Iowa River going over in Lone Tree.

As we did see a lot of flooding, there was no water over any roadway that would effect the race.  However if you ride up from Iowa City you may already be aware that Sand road is closed from Hills intersection to Hwy. 22. 

The race is on and I hope that Mother Nature will decide that we have enough water for now.  The only water I want is in my bottle, nice and cold, pre race!
